A low-key British import, THE HAWK is a grim tale of psychological suspense revolving around a woman who suspects her husband may be a serial killer.
Anne Marsh (Helen Mirren) is a middle-class house wife with a dreary husband, Stephen (George Costigan), and two young children. Though hardly the stuff of fairy tales, her life is sheltered and undemanding; Stephen make a decent living, the children are healthy and apparently well-adjusted,
their home is neat and comfortable. That she's oddly skittish and given to overreaction is attributed to a long past history of mental illness; though she's able to cope, it takes little more than a botched barbecue to rattle...
